Go for it. I bet you can drop it down to ~3800

If you are going to add any mods yourself i suggest a good roll bar from hard dog
+1 on the Hard Dog.

Also, Cool Breeze Scoop, I wish they made these for S2000's.

I agree. The Miata really is a deathtrap without a good rollbar. The A pillars cannot support the weight of the car and they crush rather easily, leaving just your head to support the load.

Yes but smacking your head on a hard object just behind your head is bad for your health too.

Local Craigslist turned this one up -- and it's an M. Bonus for the automatic too. Sigh, why Mazda?

I say forget about the S2000 and just focus on what you have, in many ways it's actually better than the S.

I recall on Miata.net (7 years there) of links to images posted by Miata owners after rolling thier cars w/out a rollbar and the A-Pillers saving them. I still got a Hard Dog!

And yes, pad it. Mine looked so nice, got it powdercoated tan to match the interior... then padded it. Sigh.

On either Miata or S2000, I look left and there's that face-mangling top frame inches away.

Looks very clean, you did well! My miata has been rock solid for 5 years as my DD.
How often do you get the diff and transmission flushed?
And what kinda oil?

Thanks!

1995 Miata w/Hardtop

Should I buy it for a toy?
Yeah!

But white is the worst color for resale etc (from my limited knowledge)
You can easily sell the hardtop for 700.

It has leather so I'd think it has power mirrors.
(Pretty sure if 94-96 has power mirrors, it has LSD

If you're in texas, check out http://www.funcarsforsale.com the guy is Bob Palmer. Very straightforward guy - respected on miata.net too
Let him know Nick from Jersey sent you - I was all set to buy from him until I found out delivery was 50 to 75 cents a mile
